The Mystery

The Mystery
A signature
Roman numerals.
Who was he?
Why did he write?
Name in concrete.
A mystery.
But gives away
Secrets.
A fan of
Rudyard Kipling.
Concrete circles
buried
Half a drum.
Out bush
Where dust swirls.
Across spinifex.
Distant station.
Untold story.
21 drums of concrete!
Words written
With knife bold.
And signed:
J. Coten, July, 1960.
